What's New For 2012

We probably don't need to tell you about these hard times, which has affected many of us. As a result, we've decided to continue to publish The Ozarks Reader in 2012 but with a few temporary changes--the magazine will be printed twice a year (bi-yearly): Spring/Summer & Fall/Winter (somethning new).

We hated to stop printing The Ozarks Reader altogether and let down so many readers, writers and advertisers (and our goal of promoting the region), so we hope that this temporary inconvenience will be, not only tolerated, but celebrated by everyone who loves The Ozarks Reader and wants to continue enjoying it. The Fall 2011 issue will be out in September.

Thank you for your loyalty--give us a helping hand and introduce the magazine to someone.

Exploring the Bounty of Old Dawt Village and Mill

"Anytime of year is a good time to explore the Ozarks and absorb the variety of natural flowers, plants and foliage that paints the region's mountainous landscape. Each season nature recreates its annual beauty to the delight of its fortunate audience; and this type of year round eye-candy is no stranger to Ozark County, Missouri, and Dawt Village and Mill which is located there.

"A few miles east of Gainesville on Highway 160 and north on PP a short distance, along the winding banks of the North Fork of the White River, such scenic wonders surround Dawt Mill - possibly the only operating water-powered grist mill remaining in Ozark County...."

Wild Bill Hickok's History Making Shoot-Out With Davis K. Tutt

"Before the legends of gunfighters and lawmen of the Old West were immortalized by word of mouth, novels, magazines, newspapers, historic records and movies, there was James Butler Hickok and Davis K. Tutt. Their deadly feud in the chief city of southwest Missouri, would be the beginning of all those colorful legendary tales ever spun about the shoot-outs in the streets of the American West.

Many who pass by the Maple Park Cemetery in Springfield, Mo., each day, may not be aware of one of its interments resting there that unknowingly left such a significant mark on American history. His grave site and headstone located in the central-west side of the cemetery decorated on one side by an engraving of a revolver, a hand of poker-cards, and a pocket-watch, is all that remains, for the most part, as a memorial to Davis Tutt and the history making duel that he participated in - and lost...."
